PLC PROGRAMMING

Furst Electrical supply, install and program PLC’s. Programming platforms vary in I/O addressing, memory organization and instruction. This means that no two PLC programs are identical. Models within the same brand and product line also often vary. The common currency is a thorough understanding of programming language. Furst Electrical are skilled at communicating with modern PLC’s to operate electrical control systems.

We specialise in programming industry leading brand Siemens. We also program Allen Bradley, Telemecanique, and Modicon. Choosing the right PLC brand and model for each application is important. Operating with an inadequate PLC, or programming it incorrectly can result in lost productivity and restrictions on its use. Furst Electrical advise customers on the type and model options suitable for their project. Key considerations that underpin the right PLC selection can be found in A 5 step formula to avoid choosing a woefully inadequate PLC.
